Tidewater Pearl Co.

Updated Jul 2026
4.5/5

Akoya and South Sea sourcing with a nacre-thickness guarantee most competitors skip.

Ideal for: Buyers who want documented nacre quality rather than a vague 'AAA' grading label.

Pros

  • Published minimum nacre thickness on every listing
  • Strand-matching service for anniversary additions
  • Responsive customer service with same-day replies

Cons

  • Freshwater pearl range is comparatively limited
  • No in-house restringing service yet
